Shaunie O’Neal is featured in the new issue of Essence magazine. And looking MassMedia Fly she did an 8 page spread for the mag about her new show, her marriage to Shaq, and why she FINALLY left. Just how quote about the broken home I can relate to, thats why I stayed with my ex far longer than I should have. Shaunie’s new reality show on VH1 is called “Basketball Wives,” and it premieres on Sunday, April 11th at 10PM ET/PT. It also looks like the divorce is pretty much final between Shaq and Shaunie as they have reached a settlement.
According to TMZ:
Shaunie’s mega-lawyer, Sorrell Trope, tells TMZ Shaq and Shaunie have reached agreement on all terms of the divorce, including property, custody and support.
Under the agreement, the Fl courts will have jurisdiction to officially divorce the couple. In addition, a Florida judge will handle any issues that may arise involving property division and spousal support.
Trope tells TMZ the California courts will have jurisdiction over any issues related to child custody.
Shaunie filed for custody of the children previously.

Shaunie on confronting Shaq about the infidelity rumors
He would deny it sometimes, and other times he would ask, ‘You got pictures? Video? If not, don’t come at me because you have no proof.’ “He’d say, ‘Okay, you’re mad. Now what? You’re not going anywhere.

Who’s laughing now. I love when women finally get the courage to leave.
I don’t think you should stay for the sake of the kids. I think it gives the child no sense of security because they do know when mommy and daddy are not getting along, because you are not spending time together and allowing them what they need to grow when they get old enough to be in a realtionship.
Dang girl I didn’t know you almost got divorced. I say divorce because had you made that step that’s where you would’ve ended up. Kudos to your uncle for saving your life.
Most people that I know who “stay for the kids” are some of the most miserable people I know. & little do they know that is sending the wrong message to your children. It lets them believe that you should stay in an unhappy relationship at all cost. And if you as a parent aren’t happy it comes across in the way you treat your children. And most ppl that stay for children have children who grow up just to express they wish you would’ve left their father/mother when they were young.
@iscream yes thank god, and yes it is so true even my grandmother told me last year “don’t waste your lie like I did”
I sooo agree! I hate people saying I stayed for the kids. I was one of those kids and even though my parents seperated, they still saw each other and still fought over “the others”. It made me miserable and seeing my mom take it made me lose a little respect for her. Not to mention have some major baggage in my relationships. We NEED to show our children 1)yes, you need to work at your relationships, don’t give up just because it gets hard BUT 2) if you’re not happy and not going to be happy, show yourself some respect and do what you need to do. We only get one life down here (that I know of) and why waste it just so you can show your kids how to be miserable for decades and how to waste their lives. I think what’s important is that kids have both parents in their lives and that the parents are involved and amicable with each other. Whether it’s together or seperate, you need happy parents to parent a happy child. Sorry for the long rant but it’s something I really feel!
